Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if only you would use a softer bedding than this.' The Prophet replied, 'What do I have to do with this world? By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, my example and the example of this world is but like that of a traveler who took shelter under a tree for a short while during a hot day, and then left it behind.'"

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَصِيرٍ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ فِرَاشًا أَوْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ «مَا لِي وَلِلدُّنْيَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا كَرَاكِبٍ سَارَ فِي يَوْمٍ صَائِفٍ فَاسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ ثُمَّ سَارَ وَتَرْكَهَا»
